Hey guys,
This just arrived, so I haven't really had a ton of time with it just yet, so I will update with my thoughts, but so far I am digging it it.
Given that this guitar does take a lot of cues from Blackmachine, I was curious to see how similar it might be. Interestingly enough, it feels very different not only from my Blackmachines but also from all of my other guitars. Even feels different from my BlacKat which they partially "ghost" built. I think that's kinda cool, very unique.
Tonally, what I have gathered thus far is it has a lot of mid punch and attack, tighter in the low mids than some of my other 7s, but the low strings have this sort of lower timbre, reminds me of the tone you get from an extended scale even though it's 25.5. (I actually measured because I had to be sure!). I have to say I am pleasantly surprised to see how different my Juggernaut set sounds in different guitars, and this guitar is a prime example of that. More on that when I have some time to really check all the tones out!
Anyways, here are pics:
And here are specs:
Specs are:
Raptor Body
25.5 Inch Scale
Rosewood/Ebony Neck
Ziricote/Quilted Maple Split Fretboard
Quilted Maple Top with Blue Stain
Black Limba Body
Ivoroid Binding
Luminlay Side Dots
Bare Knuckle Pickups Juggernaut Set with Tyger Covers
Hipshot Locking Tuners
Hipshot Bridge
Skervesen "World Domination" Switching system.
